HPI gets IBM high-performance computer

IBM is providing the computer scientists at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) with a new high-performance computer with 96 cores and eight terabytes of main memory of the IBM Power System E880 type.

The computer system was handed over by Wolfgang Wendt, VP Hardware Sales at IBM Systems Europe, during an HPI conference. With this commitment, IBM is expanding its long-standing collaboration with HPI. The American IT company and the Potsdam-based institute have been cooperating since 2012.

In a feasibility study, both partners showed how the Hana in-memory database can be implemented on IBM Power computers, and IBM has also announced the funding of several doctoral scholarships for research into the analysis of huge amounts of data in real time.
